Paxful, a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace that allows people to buy, sell, and trade digital assets, has finally announced that it will restart operations after almost a month. Interestingly, the marketplace was closed in April due to the departure of key employees, regulatory uncertainties, and a recent lawsuit filed by one of the company’s co-founders. However, it seems that the platform has decided to resume operations and will gradually start to onboard users around the world. 

Enligt a meddelande på Paxfuls officiella webbplats har utvecklingsteamet nu lanserat marknadsplatsen efter mer än 30 dagars inaktivitet. Många medlemmar av kryptogemenskapen har använt plattformen för att köpa och sälja kryptotillgångar genom åren, och plattformen är speciell för regulatorhandlare också. 

“After a month away, we’re happy to announce that the Paxful marketplace is back online. In early April, we faced a difficult decision to temporarily suspend the marketplace to protect all of our customers and Paxful’s future,” read the message on the official website.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: Paxful is back online.

Over the next couple of days, we'll be gradually restoring functionality to the marketplace.

Tack till alla för ert stöd!

Det är oklart hur P2P-marknaden siktar på att gå vidare, men under de senaste 30 dagarna har Paxful Wallet varit i drift, och alla medel som tillhörde användarna var tillgängliga utan krångel. Många kunder sa att deras konton förbjöds efter det nyligen avbrutna tjänsterna. Det är oklart om marknadsplatsen har löst detta.

Vänligen avbanna alla konton som nyligen förbjudits så att vi kan få igång bollen

Nyligen Paxful VD Ray Youssef avslöjade att 88% av de frysta medlen on the P2P marketplace have been unfrozen, with over 3% of funds remaining frozen. These 3% of the funds were “in the hands of the US regulators,” according to Youssef, who added that he doesn’t have the power to unfreeze these funds. He apologized to those whose funds remain unfrozen due to compliance issues with regulators, adding, “I have done more than anyone else would even entertain, and I cannot do anymore by law.” 

The executive stated that unfreezing the 88% of frozen funds was his “final act” as the CEO of Paxful, and after achieving this goal, Youssef revealed that he was stepping down as the Chief Executive Officer of the peer-to-peer marketplace on April 18 and continuing with a new project. However, the website continues to mention Yussef as the CEO.

“Throughout the suspension, the Paxful Wallet remained fully operational for our users, and the community was also offered a selection of peer-to-peer platforms to continue trading on. Over the last month, our team has worked diligently to get the marketplace back online with the safety and security of users paramount,” said the P2P marketplace.

As reported earlier by Bitnation, Nigerians relied on Paxful’s peer-to-peer marketplace to carry out crypto transactions following a ban on crypto trading in the country. The African country was ranked 8th in crypto usage and adoption. As a result, the folk var inte glada med stängningen av marknadsplatsen. 

Also, key court documents from March show that Youssef and co-founder Artur Schaback threw allegations at each other over misappropriation of company funds, money laundering, and evasion of US sanctions against Russia, prior to the halt of the P2P marketplace. It is also crucial to note here that Youssef is also working on Jack Dorsey’s Block’s TBD division, as the two aim to debut a new P2P marketplace.
